I’m always taken back at the exact time of the appointment. The assistant always asks me if it’s okay for her to take my weight as though making sure I know it’s all my decision. I was barely kept waiting, Melinda is always a joy and the easiest person to talk to, she makes me feel incredibly comfortable.

Obstetrical Appointment (routine)

I’ve never had a bad experience with Mel or anyone at Laurel. My last visit, was full of anxiety as we had one growth scan for our little boy which would ultimately decide how we proceeded with the pregnancy. Mel was everything you could hope for in that situation. She made me feel at ease and that everything was truly going to be okay. She gave me reassurance and open and honest answers. It was like speaking with a friend. I can’t say enough good things about her and the rest of the staff. I would not have been as calm and “put together” as I was leaving that appointment heading to the hospital had it not been for Mel and that time I spend with her prior.

I met Mel and she provided me with an ultrasound when the Doppler did not pick up my baby's heartbeat. She told me to trust my body when I thought the baby felt low.
